Running Warm-Up / Three Key Exercises to Get Ready!
Running Warm-Up / Three Key Exercises to Get Ready!

“Does a Lion warm up before it chases down a Gazelle?!”

No, it doesn’t. But you’re not a Lion. You’re a middle aged corporate worker who just sat on their butt for the last 8-10 hours and now you’re going to do a complete 180 and go be an athlete.

Yeah, it’s a good idea to do a quick, targeted, warm up!

A good running warm up is always important to make sure that your body is primed for the workload you’ll be placing on it. Warm ups aren’t just stretching. They include actively prepping the muscles and tissues that will be worked according to the exercise you’re about to embark upon. For running, this should include exercises which get the feet, knees, glutes, and low back ready.

Sports Chiropractic & Rehab for Hip Pain
Sports Chiropractic & Rehab for Hip Pain

Merely focusing our movement patterns on flexion and extension based habits like walking and sitting to standing may lead to completely ignoring the internal and external rotators of the hip as well as the Ab/Adductors. Furthermore, with our more sedentary lifestyle in general, the patterns we utilize to access our flexion and extension can lead to inhibited Gluteal Muscles and over-dominant or ‘taught’ feeling Quadriceps Muscles. These imbalances are what we attribute as a cause to a lot of chronic Hip Pains we see clinically.

Mobility Vs Flexibility- A Never-Ending Battle Within Our Joints
Mobility Vs Flexibility- A Never-Ending Battle Within Our Joints

Mobility is the ability of a joint to travel in its full range of motion (ROM) without any constraints or pains. It is all about how well you can control your joint through the necessary ROMs. Having good mobility is important to maintain pain-free, unimpeded, fluid, and independent movement.

Flexibility, on the other hand, is the ability of a muscle to fully lengthen. We have talked about different types of flexibility before and ways to increase your muscle’s length. It is important to have good flexibility in order to unlock the full ROM a joint complex has and utilize it to generate explosiveness by full muscle contraction.

Got Tight Hamstrings?! What does that even mean?!
Got Tight Hamstrings?! What does that even mean?!

Have you ever experienced hamstring tightness? Whether it is after a run, sitting all day at work or school, or after a heavy day in the gym, we all have experienced some sort of hamstring tightness. But what if I told you it might not actually be hamstring tightness? What if I told you it could be your brain playing a trick on you, where you perceive hamstring tightness but the muscle tissue has no problem lengthening fully.

Hip Pain keeping you from playing/living/moving?!
Hip Pain keeping you from playing/living/moving?!

Ever pulled your groin so badly it hurt to walk? Have hip tightness that makes it difficult to do the things you love?

Adductor strains occur mainly due to cutting and pivoting movements in sports like hockey and football. Many people think that the strain or pull comes from lacking flexibility, but it is heavily due to the opposite! Strength (or lack thereof) is often the issue!
